Physical Education and Recreation
- TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
- "In the final analysis, the chanllenge of teaching, for students and faculty members alike, is empowering individuals to know that the world is far more complex than it first appears, and that they must make interpretive arguments and decisions-judgments that entail real consequences for which they must take responsibility and from which they may not flee by disclaming expertise." (Stephen D. Brookfield, Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher 1995).
